There is apparently some sort of a problem in grep 2.5d with the -f
option. In the sequence of commands shown below, logcheck.ignore
is a file containing a series of regexps, and version 2.5b correctly
picks out the non-matching lines with the i, v and f options as
shown. Version 2.5d, however, finds no matches and outputs the
entire file. Both were compiled with the same options on the same
Linux machine with egcs-2.91.66 and linked against glibc-2.2.
